A MEMOIR BY THE YOUNGEST RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

“I come from a country that was once created in the dark. When I almost died it was once just after midday.”

When the Taliban took regulate of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.

On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was once fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was once shot within the head at point-blank range even as riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to live to tell the tale.

Instead, Malala’s miraculous recovery has taken her on an strange journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.

I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a circle of relatives uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls’ education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.

I AM MALALA will make you imagine within the power of one person’s voice to inspire change on this planet.
